In keeping with the continuity...

I will address my prayers of the previous blog. YES! I passed the CPE, with a score that had almost 20 extra points to spare, no less. And, thankfully, so has E.

It's 3:30Am, just finished watching yet another mini series of CR shows, among them JG interviews, and am left with another one of ideas I hope to get to, in the near future, unless I forget, hence the sub subject blog post.

Another blog, but this one designated only for creative writing. Papers I've written for academic purposes. Finished and graded papers only. Only thing is what is the copy right do diligence in this case? Not that I fear someone will fine the writing brilliant, but so that other students will make the same sort of efforts and processees I went through, and discover the great satifaction of a finished product. A job made with effort and independent hard work. Posted for prosperity, and maybe inspiration, on any level.

Yip. Soon. Another. Blog.

I guess, school is my salve.

The learning annex has become the vessel that encourages my endorphins to work the little engine that could. I say this because now that I have pretty much figured out my schedule, and got my academia ducks in some semblence of direction. I feel a freedom of a life...that has direction.

Sometimes it's scary to realize my retention apptitude, or rather lack there of. But than again, at least there is some what of a recognition of let say an ancient civilization that existed that I vaguely recognize at museums, at least.

New school, new courses, new knowledge, and hopefully new connections and shared philosophies of small and large ideas.

Please, please, please let me pass the CPE. The CPE Gods have to, just have to work with me on this.

This is so not what this blog was intended for, but, it's my blog and I can blog whatever I want to.

Day 7

Sleepy, sooooo sleepy. To fill a 5 year old, going on 10's dance card is no easy task. All my efforts to stimulate, entertain and plan every hour, day (including meals and events) is a full time job. Frankly my mum and I are pooped. And I can't believe we have till the 25th of July to contend with. If the events are low budget then there are transportation and food costs, not to mention souvenires and snacks. HOW DO YOU MOMS DO IT?!?

I am tooooo old. My hats off to all the moms (and all who are responsible for little ones in place of moms) who do this every single day.

Cheers to y'all.

Crocs, chocolate chip cookies, and row boats in CP...

auntie who makes me the center of her world.

Still a place of my own...but for how long?

Well, the deposit is mailed off. After all the anticipation/anxiety, hers, and the strategic itimization of charges, mine, the check was mailed off to her temp apartment. What can I do? I have places to take my family, and things to show my niece. Unfortunately, if she had just been less paranoid, and pushy, the results would of been much more in her favor, but, at lass, I took the road of "why should I" be inconvenienced and bend over backwards for someone who acts so entitled, in every situation?

Sorry to say I did get down to the nitty griitty of spliting even the smallest of cost, i.e. stamps used (for 12 months) sending the rent/utilities.

Well, it did add up to a pretty penny. And conisdering I am really broke I decided to post for a roommate starting next month. At least to see who is interested and what kind of candidates are out there. Just so weird that the half a dozen responses are from a doctor, journalist, designer and from a boy friend of a future law student. Ok, so does that mean she is inept or high maintenance? Or si he just really controlling. And are any of those qualities pro or con, as far as a roommate goes?

Well, I sent my responses, so we'll see. Just need to get my lease renewal straightened out.

My mom had an encouraging comment. She read an article about single women New Yorkers, and you can already imagine the negative aspects. Yes, well...aparently we work and mostly spend without any real security or advancement to the quality of life as we know it. Nice!

A stalker make

if you leave more than one message about the same thing
if you conveniently forget that you must wait for the outcome
if you come over uninvited and some how enter the building without being buzzed up, then you keep knocking, hoping i would answer the door
and finally, if you leave yet another message that you stopped by and leave another message just to say why I haven't called


Is it just me? or doesn't this person get it.

BTW, this person is my paranoid ex-roomie.

Pics

Anglofille not only writes beautifully but takes gorgeous pictures, so I asked her what camera she uses.I am very jello...of her camera and her pictures.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ5K Digital Camera.

I guess I wouldn't mind if I were painting my own renditions of her photo images. *S* I really do need to starting painting, sketching, drawing, etc., etc., etc.

Speaking of painting, Parisbreakfast does the most darling water colors. She too has a gift...of painting and writing.
